Key Features of X200 Expansion Board

X200 Raspberry Pi Expansion Board Adds VGA Output, Microphone input, stereo audio output, WiFi, RTC, IR receiver and More.

Key features of X200 expansion board:

·  Input Voltage – 6V to 21Vdc converted to 5V, 3A via step-down DC/DC converter to power the Raspberry Pi.

·  VGA output – HDMI to VGA converter supporting up to UXGA (1600×1200) and 1080p with 10-bit DAC

·  Audio – 3.5mm MIC in jack, 3.5mm stereo audio jack, SPDIF output, audio IO connector (Microphone input and stereo audio amplifier 3.3Wx2)

·  Wireless - WiFi (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) with antenna, IR sensor (38KHz)

·  USB – self-powered USB hub with 3 ports

·  RTC – Based on DS3231SN with included CR2032 battery

·  Servo support – 8-channel Darlington driver chip (ULN2803) allowing to control electronic circuits which require more current.

·  I/Os – Power output connector, headers to access camera connector on top of the Raspberry Pi

·  Misc – DIP switch to remove connection from RPi’s pin header

·  Dimensions – 85 x 56mm (Same size as Raspberry Pi)

The expansion board is directly connected on top of the Raspberry Pi using the board GPIO header pins, and no wiring nor soldering is required, and duplicated the 40-pin header of the R-Pi in order to support existing expansion boards. X200 is only fully compatible with Raspberry Pi Model B+.

The company emphasizes that their HDMI to VGA converter is not powered by the R-Pi HDMI port, as this isknown to cause issues. You can find more information, including instructions to build the RTC drivers and control the servo with WiringPi, on the company’sRaspberry Pi page.
